That\u2019s a strong composition on that cover. Well. We\u2019re right at the end of last issue. Spidey and Cap see Electro take his still-unseen passenger out of the prison on a wave of electricity (Not sure how one would survive that), and then Spider-Man tries to jump in to help in the wrecked prison, but\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brutal! At the time, I had no idea why Jigsaw, of all people, would have such a mad-on for Spider-Man, but now I\u2019ve read late 70s\/early 80s ASM, so I get it. Always pulling Spidey\u2019s mask off, Bendis is. Meanwhile, in the sub-basement, Matt Murdock\u00a0 is trying to coax Bob Reynolds into helping with this whole situation as Foggy panics, and then a familiar face appears in the shadows behind him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt tackles Foggy into Bob\u2019s cell as Jessica and Luke start fighting Carnage. He locks Foggy in and tells him not to come out no matter what. Then Mr. Hyde, who\u2019s in there after their fight in DD 35<\/a>, wanders in and realizes who Matt is. Elsewhere, Spider-Man is being beaten to death by a legion of losers, like Foolkiller, Crusader and Cutthroat, who all have beef with him when Captain America ffffffffinally decides to intervene. Took him long enough! And back below, Foggy is begging Bob to do something\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, like, Carnage sucks. There\u2019s a variety of edgelord man-child who thinks he\u2019s cool, but he sucks. And Bendis knew he sucks and just killed him, problem solved. It was so brutal and anticlimactic and I loved it. This moment was much-talked about on publication, but anyone who thought it was anything but great, I knew not to trust the opinion of anymore. A much deserved fate for a one-note villain. Sadly, it would not be permanent. I mean, it\u2019s comics. Well, with Carnage gone, Luke can KO Mr. Hyde, and things are looking up down in the sub-level\u2026 until Hydro-Man floods it. Jessica grabs Foggy and flies him out of there, only to discover Spidey and Cap\u2019s battle on the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Checkov\u2019s Purple Man! Well. Sure has been an intense first 2 issues. And it\u2019s completely reversed all the pacing and plotting issues of things like Secret War and Ultimate Six. Most of our characters were here in issue one, the action started in issue one, no 5-issue buildup. Now everyone from the #1 cover is here except Wolverine. But Daredevil is also here. That\u2019s weird, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
